Neurologist diagnosed me with SFN at the end of last year, even though I've been having symptoms for years.. My previous neurologist, which I switched from because she wouldn't communicate well at all, thought I had MS, judging by the brain and neck MRI, and me peeing all the time, tremors, eyesight changes, etc. For the SFN patients in this group, I have a question. The front of my legs hurt pretty badly along with the top and bottom of my feet. It's like a burning pain, especially in the bottom of my feet when I walk or drive.. the leg and foot pain is absolutely horrible in the morning after laying down for hourse on and off, and hurt when I stand up to pee several times a night. Question for SFN patients here.. Do any of y'all have these certain kind of symptoms? Worse in the morning, and with just standing, walking and driving?
